Hello everyone,
As p^romised I’m contionue the topic providing information, statements and references. I’ll deal with it by parts and the following is part one:

***Statement to be proved:

The Slave Class was only appointed for the first time by Christ in 1919.
From (GB ) speaker Guy Pearce - October 6 th 2012 -
Now comes the question: in which year?
Should we accept from thhe Society this one?
*** w72 2/1 79 Fully Accepting the Challenge of Jehovah's Service ***
The Naomi remnant came into a condition like that, particularly in the year 1918,when they were, in a sense, exiled from Jehovah Gods favor. In that year Jehovah God came to his temple suddenly, accompanied by the messenger of the covenant, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Or this one?
*** ka 351 17 The "Slave" Who Lived to See the "Sign" ***
Did he find that body of Christian slaves disregarding the unpopularity of the world and seeking to be pleasing to their Master by doing what he had appointed to be done during his absence? He must have found them so, according to the way the inspection, begun in 1919, has affected his decision since. His actions, his dealings with his Christian slaves, speak louder than words.
Or this one?

Jehovah and his messenger of the covenant, Jesus Christ, came to inspect the spiritual temple in 1918 C.E. Judgment then began with the house of God and a period of refining and cleansing commenced. (Mal. 3:1-3; 1 Pet. 4:17)
Or this one ?
*** w83 9/15 19-20 "One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism" ***
Since the master found the remaining ones of this body faithfully and discreetly giving out food supplies when he arrived for inspection in 1919,he appointed them over all his belongings. (Luke 12:42-44)
Or this one?
*** re 31 6 Unlocking a Sacred Secret * (pub. 1988)**
Thus, when the Lords day dawned in October 1914, there were still true Christians on earth. (Revelation 1:10) It appears that Jehovah came to his spiritual temple for judgment about three and a half years later, in 1918, accompanied by Jesus as his messenger of the covenant. (Malachi 3:1; Matthew 13:47-50)
Or to keep everyone happy this one?
*** w043/1p.17par.19‘TheFaithfulSlave’PassestheTest!
19 Of course, the majority of those who were to become Christ’s anointed slaves during the time of the end were not yet serving Jehovah when Jesus began his inspection in 1918. Did they miss out on the inspection? Not at all. The inspection process only began in 1918/19 when the faithful and discreet slave as a classpassed the test. Individual anointed Christians continue under inspection until their sealing is made permanent. (Revelation 7:1-3)
After all the Society i.e. the “ Governing Body” should know? Since they claimed this:
*** w60 7/15 444
Staying Awake with the "Faithful and Discreet Slave" ***
At the 1958 Divine Will International Assembly amazing advance information in connection with Daniel’s prophecy was given about events to occur in the immediate future. Such evidence of spiritual foresight is recorded for us in the book “Your Will Be Done on Earth.” Once again the “faithful and discreet slave” has been tipped off ahead of time for the guidance of all lovers of God"
Oh, I’m sorry because 38 years later the Society i.e. the
“Governing Body” wrote the following:
*** w 98 9/15 10 Times and Seasons in Jehovah's Hands ***
3 Two things can be deduced from the way Jesus answered questions relating to when things would occur in fulfillment of God’s purpose.
First, that Jehovah has a timetable; and second, that he alone fixes it, and his servants cannot expect to be given precise advance informationof his times or seasons."
As a matter of fact , how can you believe about “ Jesus Christ’s inspection” when those inspected wrote 12 years after the “ inspection” :
LIGHT, Vol. 1 (1930) chapt. VI page 187 by
J.F. Rutherford
Such affords an opportunity for the child of God to show his willingness to obey and follow whithersoever the Lord leads.
It was in 1922 that the people of God first had an understanding that the Lord had come to his temple in 1918. The Lord Jesus, the great Judge, is the One
And it was not a misteke in writing because those “ inspected” wrote again about that event in the year 1933, 15 years after the “ inspection” :
This corresponds to the condition amongst God’s people from
1918 to 1922, probably before the general convention of the latter year at Cedar Point, Ohio. It was when the Lord’s covenant people saw that Christ the great Inspector General had come to the temple that they cried out:“Save now, I beseech thee, 0 Lord: 0 Lord, I beseeeh thee, send now prosperity.” (Ps. 118: 25) It was in 1922 that God’s covenant people became aware of their own negligence in connection with the building of the antitypical temple. It was then that the Lord spoke words of comfort to them and they rejoiced, sceing that Jehovah’s anger had turned away from them.(Isa. 12: 1-4; 61: 1-3)
The Watchtower August 31 st 1933 pages 231-232 par. 25th
And wrote again about that event in the year 1943 , i.e. 25 years after the “ inspection” :
‘The truth shall make you free’ ’ 1943, page 302)
”…the major fulfillment of Malachi’s prophecy fixes the spring of A.D. 1918 as the time when the King Christ Jesus came to the temple.
… Christ’s coming to the temple in 1918 was entirely unexpected, even to his devoted faithful followers. The truth of his coming then was first discerned by the Scriptures and by the fulfillments of prophecy after the event, namely , first in 1922.”
It understandable that on such Orwellian basis, one cannot accept the “inspection” event as a real event.
That’all for now. Any comment is welcome

PS Part two will follow shortly.
